Pezzner - Spring Opening at the Polyclinic (MP3)

The random mixes that I get in my inbox are just NUTS! Some of them are done by drunken deaf mice who love recording 13 songs playing at the same time. But then at the other end of the spectrum I get these really polite introductions from really cool folks who just deeply dig their music. Case in Point: Dave Pezzner - the 2007 US Laptop DJ champion - who throws down a set that doesn't advertise that fact too heavily. He laptops all of the beats into this mix perfectly. A great Springtime mix to serve as your personal sound track.

Genres: broken beat, house, laptop, mash-up, soul

Grant Phabao & Djouls - Latin Madness (MP3)

When you see a mix labelled as Afro-Latin there are only two possibilites - snooze-core, massage parlor background noise or killer latin icing on top of a afro-beat funk cake. Lucky for us the latter is the case with this super-cool mix. It's like the Latin Kings put out a hit on my ass! The Paris Djs step out with another killer selection, and be certain to click thru to the source for some sweet album art made up by Djouls.

Yam Who? - milk mix live (HTML→Real Audio)

Yam What? Yam How? Yam Why? Yam Who. They are back (sort of) in the form of this mixset recorded live at one of Milk's famous soulful soirees. It seems like Yam Who? was destined to take over the new-soul remix crown and I dunno I have not heard much from them in a long time. Who knows maybe they are out there and just below the radar but, nonetheless it is great to hear what they've got goin on with this mix. Enough chit-chat lets get to the souled out vibes of the one and only Yam Who?

Genres: broken beat, funk, hip-hop, soul
